California Baptist College
February 20, 1987
Trustees OK 30-year plan
by Herb Hollinger
Reprinted with permission
from the California Southern
Baptist.
Trustees of California Baptist College okayed a $6.5 million budget
for 1987-88 and gave their stamp of
approval to a 30-year development
plan which envisions 3,000 students
on the campus by 2017.
The two items were the major part
of an agenda for the regular February
meeting on the campus last week.
The new budget, to begin July 1,
will give college employees about a
10 percent salary increase and tabs an
additional $85,000 for maintenance
work on the 75-acre campus.
Representing an 11 percent
increase over .1986-87, the new
budget is based on projections for
700 students in the fall semester.
From about 650 students this past
fall, the projections would be a 6.8
percent increase in enrollment.
"We believe with all of the effort
we have put into student recruitment
and retention over the past two years
that this is a goal we can achieve,"
President Russell Tuck told trustees.
The major increase in the budget
will be $261,760 salary increases
and fringe benefits for employees.
Substantial maintenance work, college officials said, has been deferred
because of past financial problems
and must be addressed next year.
The $85,000 increase in maintenance
will be in addition to $21,000
already included in this year's budget.
Tuition will also go up next
school year from $2,067 for a semester load to $2,197 , or a 6.3 percent increase over this year.
Approval of the long range
development plan came with the
final presentation by a Missouri
architectural firm which has been
retained by the college to study development of the liberal arts schooi.
The 30-year plan, which would
cost about $107 million in 1987
State Baptist leader honored
Cal Baptist will host "Bill Hogue Day" in honor of the
executive director of the Southern Baptist General Convention
of California on Wednesday, Feb. 25. The day will include a
breakfast and orientation for local pastors, a barbeque lunch,
and a reception for Hogue with the faculty association. Hogue
will also be the featured speaker in chapel that morning.
Mockingbird 10K postponed
The Baptist Student Union has postponed the annual
Mockingbird Canyon 10K race until next year. Credit is still
available for those interested in running the course for physical
education units on April 4. See Don Hokett, registrar, for
information.
'Charlie Brown' to visit CBC
The musical "You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown" will
be performed in the Wallace Book of Life auditorium April 3-4
and 10-11. Melodie Yocum is directing a cast of Cal Baptist
students in the production. All performances will begin at 8
p.m.
Shakespeare auditions closing
Today is the last day to audition for the May production
of Shakespeare's "Love's Labor's Lost" in the Book of Life
auditorium. Auditions will be from 5-7 p.m. Contact Nina
Everett, student director, for more information.
dollars, would be accomplished in
three phases. The first, to be
completed by 1989-90 at a cost of
$32 million, would support an
800-student enrollment. It would
include a new science building and a
student center as priority items with
extensive renovation of existing
buildings as well.
Tuck submitted a "blueprint for
the future of CBC" to coincide with
the long range development plan and
said the two together make up the
"most significant task that we have
undertaken."
"The blueprint cannot be considered as a static document, but it
should serve as a guide for us as we
prepare for the future," said Tuck.
Part of-that blueprintwouldinclude
within two years an Institute of
Evangelism at the college. Also,
the first phase would have the campus become a Baptist Conference
Center for southern California.
Academic changes would include
English as a Second Language (ESL)
with a director of international
students, a master's degree in education, a mathematics major and a
student center director who would
also serve as a full-time director of
student activities.
The first visible action by the
trustees toward implementing the
long range plan was approval for the
executive committee to begin preparation of a "science building donor
package."
Also, trustees approved the
administration, in concert with its
land use committee and the executive
committee, to "procure as needed the
employment of a broker to represent
the college in securing a land lease
of the approximately 16 acres of
excess land designated by the long
range plan."
Wayne Stacks, Lompoc trustee,
told the board the new budget would
also allow employment of a full-
time career planning director. Also
planned is a full-time intercollegiate
athletic director and the addition of
two new sports, men and women's
cross country track.
In other action: trustees approved
promotions for four faculty members, an honorary degree of doctor of
divinity for new Golden Gate Sem
inary president, William Crews,
spousal housing and meals for
trustee members when attending
trustee meetings, and elected Hon
Lao, trustee from Concord, as vice
chairman and Jerry Stubblefield,
Mill Valley, as secretary of the
board.
Tuck told trustees the recently
completed inter-term was down 20 to
21 students in enrollment but there
was a three to four percent increase
in credits taken.
[Trustees also heard from Tim
Luther, faculty member, and John
Gibson, ASCBC president. Gibson
spoke to the board concerning moving the inter-term session to the
summer months, student representatives on trustee committees, maintenance around the campus, and censorship of the Banner last fall.
Gibson told trustees students
wanted to "clear up any misconceptions" over the new student fees
passed in the November trustee
meeting and expressed thanks "in
hearing plans for an interim student
center" which might be placed in the
basement of the main building.]
Hundreds of students
attend Preview Days
by Lisa Gonzalez
Over 450 prospective students
attended Preview Days recently at
Cal Baptist. About 191 of those
students are currently high school
seniors or transfer prospects.
According to John Potter, director
of admissions, some 860 students
had signed-up for the weekend, and
456 of those registered at the college.
Preview Days participants enjoyed
campus tours, class competitions,
outdoor activities, and a concert by
Christian recording artist, David
Meece.
The concert, opened by Innervision
from First Baptist Church, Van
Nuys, made a profit of "at least"
$1,100 according to Sylvia Lamas,
ASCBC business manager.
Some 1300 tickets were sold or
given to Preview Days participants.
Featured artist Meece failed to
make it to the concert until 10:15
p.m., some two hours after the
scheduled time.
"Under the circumstances, I was
overwhelmed by the response of the
audience," said John Chesnut,
activities director.
Potter was also pleased with the
concert.
"Preview weekend went real nice
except for the frustration of David
Meece showing late, but the concert
was fantastic," said Potter.
"I appreciate the effort put forth by
the campus to provide a weekend
like this."
The Alumni Association also
sponsored Homecoming and class
reunion activities during the
weekend. Becky Hixson, wife of
Tom Hixson, vice president for
business affairs, organized the
Homecoming weekend.
